Ever feel like your life is out of balance, you’ve lost control, your body is tired and aching, and time is running out? Has mid-life got you in a crisis? Maybe if you took a few minutes each day to get centered, grounded, and balanced in body, mind and soul, your moods would lift, your health would improve and your sexy self would reconnect.

Right attitude is only the beginning – Yoga Today

Right
attitude is only the beginning of the spiritual journey. Although this is the beginning
it can take lifetimes for us to achieve right attitude. To achieve right
attitude we need to learn to listen not only with the ear, but with the soul.
It’s not about listening to sound, but listening to the silent language of an inspired
soul. The first Yama (abstinence) or
non-violence is a good example.

Practicing Non-violence means to listen to
your inner voice. If you can remain quiet you will perceive clearly any violence
you create by inflicting harm on yourself or anyone else. Criticism, bigotry and anger are the sounds of
violence. Violence begins in thought and projects outward through our words and
our deeds. So the right attitude is to bring to your consciousness peace and serenity
and with that bring non-violence to you, others and every aspect of life. We need
to silence the chitta (meaningless
chatter) so we can hear the sound of peace. That is the practice of yoga. Let’s
begin by working through the chakras or our energy centers bringing them into balance
by staying flexible and open and working on our inner strength.

Right attitude
is only the beginning of the spiritual journey. Listen to your inner voice and
if it should speak of violence,( criticism, bigotry or anger) silence it. Experience
the peace within and continue on the journey towards spiritual enlightenment. It
begins and ends within the depth of your soul.
